Nigerian troops in Maiduguri say they captured a
top commander of Boko Haram during a raid on
the home of a high-level national politician.
Lt. Col Sagir Musa, spokesman for the Joint Task
Force (JTF) said in a terse statement sent to
media this evening, that Shuaibu Mohammed
Bama had been picked up and is in custody.
However he declined to name the national
politician.
Islamist sect Boko Haram has its strongest base in
Maiduguri.
The official statement said: “The JTF have been
successful in their ongoing anti-terror operations.
A high-profile Boko Haram commander, one
Shuaibu Mohammed Bama, who has been on the
list of wanted terrorists, was arrested by task
force troops in a serving politician’s house. He is
in the custody of the JTF and assisting in the
investigation and has since made startling
revelations.”
Although Sagir did not state the relationship
between the captured commander and late
Habibu Bama, who was killed in Damaturu, and
the name of the serving Nigerian lawmaker,
sources said the suspect was arrested in a high
brow area in Maiduguri axis of Borno State.
Another source said that crack security team have
been trailing Bama, from Kano to Kaduna and
finally Maiduguri where he was barbed on
Thursday in Cordon and Search Operation style,
that have armed to teeth combat soldiers who
were well position to repel any counter from the
Boko Haram’s sect.

First it was the vice president whose political associate was captured as a terrorist, next a terrosist was captured at a governor's lodge, and before we could digest that, another was linked to a senator, and now this!
As long as the government continues to protect the sponsors of these murderers Nigerians will keep being slaughtered daily... If you know you are not going to deal with the fat cat, don't bloody tell us about their involvement, simple. It hurts more knowing that out problems are not only known, but they are delibrately made to linger by those who have all the powers to fix them.

JTF should just use both of them for SUYA.Chikenan.

They should catch and kill naw eh don't tell us just shoot and tell us c0s we believe una die,mshoot the senate and any bk guys you catch
